Beauty only God could create

As I was in my garden today trying to get rid of Quack grass and invasive Goldenrod, I noticed our granddaughter, Eliana, kneeling next to some tulips. She cupped the beautiful flower petals in her hands and could not get over the size and brilliance of the flower. To my shame I must admit that I had just walked by these tulips – hadn’t even noticed them in all my worry about trying to rid the garden of weeds. I looked at her and then the flower and marvelled at the beauty in my granddaughter and the flower. God IS the author of such incredible beauty, if I only take the time to notice. There are always weeds in our lives, aren’t there? Things that distract us and make us feel overwhelmed at times. I hope I will take more time this Spring and Summer to notice the God created beauty around me.

Hi Monika
I took some time to read some of your blog this morning while I am caring for my 92 yr old mom (here for 2 wk). Your family is such an inspiration to me. I had been contemplating giving up my last nursing job (home visits with mothers and newborns or preemies who are discharged home from the NICU), but after doing some deep contemplation this morning, I don’t think I can do it yet. Your family does so much and has so much to share, that I think my small contribution to the start of new life should be continued. I will continue, like you, to help care for the grandchildren on an almost daily basis, and I will visit with new mothers to answer questions and to be sure that the family is doing well. I think I will start walking, too….have been thinking about this for many moons and have just not found the time. I think I can, now.
You are such a blessing to so many. Thank you for just being you!

Thanks for stopping by, Granny, and for taking the time to write. I never know whether I am talking to myself when I blog. 🙂 Now that the weather is nice again, we have started walking again, too! So glad you wrote.

I just started reading your blogs so enjoy them. Wish I had read them earlier they give me food for thought. I love the one about your granddaughter seeing the beauty in the tulips. I like many others see the weeds and don’t look at the tulips. I had a stroke. 3. Years ago and still can’t walk and. Have spent too much time thinking about my problem and not the Beaty around me my family and. Friends that love and care for. Me
